THE JAIL SRNTINCE.
Judge Rourke, in Savannah, has sent
a violator of the state prohibition
laws ,to the chain gang without the
alternative of paying a fine. The Sa
vannah courts are working hand in:
hand with the new law, and what was
l
heretofore known as the “state of
Chatham ’ has become a real part of
Georgia.
It is not the policy of substantial
I
and conservative newspaper? to be
little or advise the courts, but the
I Times-Recorder believes every court
in the state could work much good if
, it followed the policy of Judge Rourke.
Send the offender to the chain gang, 1
and the community will be freed of
their pestilence for at least twele
I months.
In commenting on the sentence, the,
,Savannah Morning News says:
I Because the prohibition laws are
law, they should be enforced, and if '
comparatively light sentences will not
have the desired effect, heavier sen
tences must be imposed. The laws
were not written to permit persons to r
sell iquor by paying fines periodically;
—such fines, for example, as would
about equal license fees if there were
no prohibition laws. But they were
written to be obeyed, and it is the
duty of every person charged with
enforcing the laws to do his part Li
seeing that they are obeyed to the
I letter and without recourse to a sub
erfuge that would permit them to be
violated. No judge likes to send any
ibody to jail, but at times it is his duty;
whenever it is his duty, he would not
be an upright judge if he failed to do
fc. He would be rcreant to his trust
if he permitted his own opinion as to
tte theory of prohibition to prevent
him from doing his exact duty as a
judge.
It is unlawful to sell whiskey in Sa
vannah; any man who sells it here
knows he is violating law when he!
. does it, and he deserves no sympathy. I
i II he is sent to jail for a flagrant vio
lation, he has only himself to blame.
If he expects to sell whiskey and
| avoid punishment, he must have the
opinion that either the authorities of;
the law can be outwitted and deceived•
or else that they do not intend to do
their duty. The result of the case in
which a jail sentence was imposed
ysterday should be taken &s evidence
that the authorities are not to be de
ceived very long, and that they are
doing their duty.”
PIGS AND BANKS.
With our readers permission we will
break away from a discussion of war,
preparedness and the greasers aui
tackle a question that is right at
home, that of hogs, and the hog indus
try. That this is becoming an im
portant industry in this part of the
country, is apparent to all. On every
hand we hear farmers and business
men saying there is money in hogs, ’
ard they are turning their attention to
the industry in such away as that
much blds fair to be accomplished.
Business men in the various de
partments of the business life are
encouraging the farmer to engage in
hog and cattle raising. Business as
sociations and agricultural institutions
are doing what they can along the
same lines. Prominent among these
business men are the bankers. These 1
hard headed masters of finance in manv
states are coming to the aid and en
couragement of hog and cattle raising |
by their support of the pig clubs that 1
are springing up all over the country.
In this way they are recognizing what'
the pig club work and movement
means in the improving of rural life '
and rural conditions, Not a few of
the bankers have made it possible ofr
members of the club to secure purz
■bred pigs on their personal notes. In
‘this way well bred stock pigs are
obtained, and the member of the club
is given the opportunity of paying for
same out of the proceeds of the pig
from the sale of meat or from the in
crease from the pig, in the case of its
being a brood animal. When the club
member is a minor the agreement is
J entered into through the consent of
the parent or guardian, hence the
j stigma of charity in removed, which is
oftentimes so considered when the pig
is given outright.
* The above course is also a means of
teaching practical business methods'
to the young people of the rural pre- ■
cincts. It is also a character building
process for it is but natural for a
boy when treated like a man to act in
a manly way.
Byway of encouraging business men
J and bankers to continue this course
'.let us say that this apparent generos
j ity on the part of the bankers is tn
' many cases the shrewedest business
acument. We have read of a case in
v.hich a Texas banker pursued this
I
. plan. He placed 326 pigs among the
• pig club members of his county. As a
result of the acquaintance made in se
curing and placing these pigs, many.
new patrons were secured. These j
patron brought in over $75,000 in in-1
dividual deposits. Needless to say, ■
this was a profitable business for the
bank, but it is also a means that will
increase with time in its beneficial in
fluence. One of the Texas papers
states that the banker “has laid the'
foundation for a prosperity which will
be lasting. The boys that he has help
ed to get started in the hog business
are now on their feet financially, anl
before many years they will be mak
ing big shipments of hogs to market
each year. The money received from
the sale of hogs will be expended in
further developing the country. Ever?
merchant in the county will profit, the
banks will get more deposits, and the
farmers will have more money with
which to further develop their farms."
The Times-Recorder would recom
mend the adoption of Texas bankers
course to the bankers of this section.
GET THE TURNSTILE HABIT.
A splendid rule of life is to do one
thing at a time, and do that thing
well.
Let the duty in hand have the right
of way over all others, and when, this
lis finished then on to the next, and
iso on through the various duties of
’ life.
When you see a man rushed, wor
ried and flurried, it is a sure sign he
hag not learned the way of first du’y
first to be done.
We all know what the old fashioned
t. rnstile is or was. This is the kind
of method we want to adopt with life's
duties, the turnstile method. Like the
g.’.teman in charge of the turnstile one
duty at a time. There may be one
thousand people coming, but the gate
man takes care of one at a time, and at
tnat instant the oher 999 are nothing
to him. Thus it should be with the
duties of life. Do the first one first
ai.d then on to the other in their order
or as they come u<p.

On The Level
By C. W.
On the street corners can be heard
varied criticisms and words of approv
al for President Wilson’s move in
calling the National Guards and pro
ducing a crisis in Mexican affairs. It
gets to be humorous sometimes, and
on some occasions a real day-in-and
day-out fellow might shut his eyes
and imagine he was trespassing on
the campus of the asylum at Milledge
! ville.
There are more loose nuts standing
around on the street corners discuss-
■ ing and disparaging important ques
tions than you find at anything else.
It has not been announced what func
tion they were sent in the world to
fulfill, but the best use made for a
community’s sake would be on the
front line of a swarm of Mexicans
killing each other.
Why, Thomas!
! “Why is it that the telephone oper

“Well,” answered Mr. Thomas, ‘‘the

work so faithfully as those who are in
love with their job; and they know
' that women love their work at the

FOB CONGRESS.
To the Voters of the Third Congress
ional District:
I hereby respectfully announce my
candidacy for re-election as your Rep
resentative in the Sixty-Fifth (65thl
Congress, subject to the primary to be
held on September 12th.
During the short time I have been
your congressman, I have sincerely en
deavored to serve you faithfully, and
if my efforts and record meet with
your approval, I will feel greatly hon
ored and profoundly grateful if you
will give me your support in the com
ing election. Congress has been in al
most continuous session since you
elected me, and duty required me to
stay here, which prevented me from
visiting you as often as I wished. The
Ways and Means committee is now
daily working on a revenue measure;
being on that committee, I must re
main here until the new tax law is
passed. As soon as Congress adjourns,
or before then, if public business will
permit me to leave, I expect to canvass
the District, meet the people personal
ly and talk to them face to face, both
individually and on the stump.
If re-elected, I promise to discharge
the duties of the great office with fidel
ity and to the best of my ability.
From the depths of my heart, I
thank you for your past kindness to
me. Cordially yours
CHARLES R. CRISF.
